In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.

I have read and understood the above.

Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.

Discussion on: "Accurate MC tools at the LHC: what for?"45m

I would like to stimulate a discussion on imagining us already in a world where we'll
have MC@NLO/POWHEG for all interesting processes (SM and BSM)
and a few (key) parton-level NNLO calculations (Z,W,ttbar inclusive jet,...) at the LHC.
How the exp results should be given in the paper for "standard candle measurements"
(with cuts or extrapolated to the total x-sec)? How the TH information should be
used by the exp? How the theorists should calculate
total rates (this is less trivial than one could think, as we have recently experienced
in the Higgs-NLO x-sec working group) and compare with data?
Is there, in principle, an optimal way to convey information out
of an experiment which will be maximally useful for the all community
(and PDF groups) ?
